Drosera peltata Dormancy in Arizona Heat

Jason from AZ has D. peltata growing well outdoors in full sun all winter. As days warm, it sends up taller leaves. Asks if it will go dormant with increasing temps or needs dormancy at all.

Expert Advice: Let It Dictate Dormancy

Jeff Dallas says some clones grow continuously if kept wet. But in Arizona, spring temperatures will likely trigger tuber formation. Let it grow until it shuts down naturally—it needs to catch insects to store energy for summer dormancy. Once dormant, keep pot fairly dry.

Good Growing!
